I don't understand how this book stands out from other dystopian novels. Maybe it's because there isn't a love triangle. Our heroine has to fall in love nonetheless.

Another thing I don't understand is why exactly Tris chooses Dauntless over any of the other factions. She doesn't say beforehand anything that would make us understand why she joined a faction for the brave over faction of peace or honor.

Furthermore, Tris is an extremely distant and cold character. She states how much she loves her family but it never really feels like she does.
